Mixed feelings. The Italian Sub was excellent and the cashier was friendly, but my side came out cold and they were out of two of the things I wanted to order. Probably worth another try, but not the experience I was hoping for.
Came here on a whim during my lunch break and I'm hooked. The Caprese Panini was easily the best version I've had this year. Friendly staff, fast service, and they actually got my order right the first time. Will be back next week.
Great sandwiches option for the area. The Caprese Panini was the highlight, big portion and well-priced. Seating is limited so if you come at peak hours plan on takeout. I'll be back.
Solid spot. The Reuben is a standout — bold flavors, well-seasoned, comes out hot. Took off a star only because the wait at the counter was longer than I expected on a weekday. Still, I'd come back without hesitation.
I work nearby and stop in at least twice a week. The BLT hits every time. Service is quick, the space is clean, and they take dietary requests seriously which I appreciate. Easy five stars from me.
Brought the family on a Saturday and we all walked out happy. Kids loved their food, my partner ordered the BLT and finished every bite. Prices feel fair for the portions. The dining room was a little loud but that's expected on weekends.
